2 Life-Changing iPhone Tips Experts Say Will ‘Prolong Your Battery’s Health’

Enable low power mode

When you're running low on battery or want to conserve power, Yap points out that enabling Low Power Mode can be extremely helpful. “Low Power Mode reduces or disables certain battery-draining features and functions in your iPhone,” Yap says. “It adjusts settings such as screen brightness, mail fetch, background app refresh, and visual effects, among others, to minimize power consumption. By temporarily limiting these energy-consuming processes, your iPhone can conserve battery life and extend the time between charges.”

Yap reiterates that these tips help with battery power in the following ways:

Optimized battery charging prevents overcharging, which can degrade the battery's capacity over time. By slowing down the charging process and avoiding extended periods at maximum charge, the battery experiences less stress and maintains a healthier overall state.

Low Power Mode reduces power consumption by temporarily disabling or reducing the energy-intensive functions and features of your iPhone. By reducing background activity and limiting power-hungry processes, your device consumes less energy, resulting in a longer battery life.

“By incorporating these two tips into your iPhone usage habits, you can effectively prolong your battery's health and optimize its overall performance in the long run,” Yap says.
